I mind my business; God's my witness that I don't provoke it by CactusBlue

Summary
Dennis hesitated, then mumbled, “He grabbed my shoulders earlier.”
Trinity gave him a look that said continue.
“It wasn’t even a big thing,” he said quietly. “It was only a second. But it felt like...” He struggled for words, cheeks warming again. “Like he left fingerprints on my nervous system.”
Trinity let out a low whistle. “Oh, you are gone. You are absolutely gone.”
Dennis hid his face in a pillow. “I hate you.”
“You love me. Tell me more about your medically concerning reaction to our boss touching you.”
He grumbled into the pillow, “Let’s watch your movie”. His skin still sizzled with the ghost of Robby’s grip, and no amount of denial was cooling it down.

Summary
The day began badly, the coffee machine was broken, a damp sticky note apologizing with a sad face. Robby stared at it, surrounded by the hum of lights and the rumble of thunder. The Pitt waited beyond the door, bright, loud, merciless. He sighed, adjusted his stethoscope, then heard someone clear their throat.

Summary
Every morning for two weeks straight, Dean Archer walked into the Emergency Department with two cups of coffee—one black, the other with oat milk and a cinnamon dusting that no one else dared order in front of him, the extra shot of vanilla scent wafting around him. The first cup was his usual, the one that spoke to his no-nonsense, straight-to-business attitude. The second, however, was a peculiar thing. It was almost a little too sweet, too delicate for someone with such a hardened reputation.
He never commented on it, never acknowledged the oddity of the order, nor did he mention how it seemed to be the only thing that broke his stoic silence. He simply held both cups as if they weighed the same, his expression unwavering, his footsteps as purposeful as ever. There was a ritualistic quality to it, like clockwork. He would walk past the nurses’ station with a quick nod to those who acknowledged him, and without so much as a glance, he’d hand off the second cup—always to Dr. Hannah Asher. Wordlessly, his eyes never lingering, and without fail, she’d take it from him, her fingers brushing lightly against his.

Summary
They stood in silence for a few more moments, the elevator descending steadily. The familiar hum of machinery outside, the distant chatter of staff in the hallways—it was all a reminder that life had gone on while they’d been locked in that small, sterile space, trying to save two lives.
Dean’s gaze flicked toward her, and for a moment, their eyes met, the unspoken understanding between them hanging heavy in the air. But before anything more could pass between them, the elevator jerked suddenly.
Hannah’s breath hitched in surprise as the elevator came to an abrupt stop. The soft hum of the machinery went silent, and for a moment, the world seemed to freeze.

Summary
Hannah Asher knew better than to fall for men like Dean Archer.
She had spent years letting herself be drawn to danger, to things she shouldn’t want—things that burned too brightly and left her singed. Addiction had been one form of it. Reckless love had been another. She had worked hard to leave both behind, to build herself into the woman she wanted to be. A woman who made good choices.
Dean Archer was not a good choice. -

Summary
He kept his eyes down, moving with purpose but careful not to attract attention. Reaching the turbolift, he glanced over his shoulder before stepping inside. The doors hissed shut, and he exhaled.
“Level 12,” he murmured, his voice a low rasp.
The lift began its descent, and Julian clenched his fists in his pockets, willing his nerves to settle. He told himself he could stop this.

The Vulcan Science Academy had been working on creating android life for many years, their donation to Starfleet Academy was one of their prototype models. The model, officially named SP-0K, was deemed a failure by VSU standards. They also decided that he was far too sentient to destroy and so instead, they donated their failure to Starfleet.

Summary
When he was a kid, Jim had never thought about what a person does after retirement. He hadn’t really thought about it until a week before he was officially retired from Starfleet. It was a strange thought, he’d spent almost his entire life in the stars, and now he was just a civilian on the ground.

Jim Kirk's Observations Pertaining Vulcans by CactusBlue
Fandoms: Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies)
18 Aug 2021
Tags
Summary
Jim was beginning to think that Vulcans were just big cats. He had solid reasoning behind this, since the beginning of the mission he had been creating a list in his personal log. It hadn’t begun as a list documenting these instances, it started as him documenting his personal experience on an away mission. It quickly turned into him obsessing over his First Officer. Jim kept these instances out of his Captains log, ensuring it was separate because of how embarrassing it would be if the brass found out he was making a list on all the ways his first officer seemed like a cat. No, it was best to keep his observations to himself.

What? Does that feel good? by CactusBlue
Fandoms: Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies)

Summary
Spock was exhausted, which said a lot considering he needed significantly less sleep to function than his human co-workers. The Enterprise had spent the last five days on a routine star charting mission, which everyone on the bridge found incredibly boring. Except for the Chief Science Officer who was in charge of documenting everything that the sensors said about each individual star.
He spent the entire day on the bridge bent over his station, peering into the monitor to read the displays. After spending so long bent over his desk, his back had begun to seize. An awful side effect from being half human unfortunately.

Summary
Jim was smart enough to know when he was bested and when the Vulcan had him pinned to the ground with no way out he thumped his hand on the ground to signal the end. There was something fascinating about the way Spock could do all that without getting out of breath.

Summary
It was a well known fact that at the beginning of the Enterprise’s journey into deep space Leonard McCoy hated formal diplomatic dinners.
Most of the Enterprise crew thought it was because of the scratchy and stiff dress uniform that they get stuffed into for these events. While that was certainly a contributing factor to his hatred, he wouldn’t say it was the only reason.
